Will they fit?

[Rob84]

Would the stock e46 m3 brake set up fit on a '01 325Ci? like the one in my sig for instance? :D

thanks in advance

I have a feeling it doesn't but I am by no means knowledgeable on these matters. Someone "in the know" will be along soon. :)

Do a quick search as I am sure I read a thread about this before. From memory though the answer is no, they are not a straight swap over. I believe the 330 brakes can be swapped but not M3. I think you would have to change the complete hub assembly to get them to fit, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong :o

it's not a straight swap, however, if you know a metal machinist that can shave around 3mm off the caliper carrier, you'll be fine, however, I'm not sure if they'll clear 17" rims as the smallest rim size on an M3 is 18

Go for the 330 brakes, almost the same as the M3 brakes and they bolt straight on.

in my expierence this is not a good idea dispite being told it would be a straight fit when i bought mine it isnt.. there is a bit of shaving down of the caliper involved but its a bit dodgy and the rears wont fit full stop the hub is alot further out on an m3 than it is on the smaller models i mean they are ok for crusing and never going over 30 mph but still just not a good idea best stick 2 something that doesnt need modifications after all it is brakes and u dont want 2 end up killing urself and other ppl.

this is just my opinion remember they will fit with modding but again when i did it (and it was done professionally) it was advise i dont use them and they took them straight off again.

plus if u crash and have an accident because of break fault then ur barkes will be checked and if they check them and find they are 1 not standard and 2 find that the non standard brakes have been modified themselfs then 3 ur f**ked.

think lee is giving u good advice here go for the 330 brakes if any at all..
wish he was about when i was asking about m3 brakes first time round :(
